I loved the day when my boys slept in until 9. I loved the Girl Scout cookies. I loved going to Sunflower Market and buying artichoke hummus. I loved figuring out that the cheapy Western Family brand diapers really are better than the Kirkland ones. I loved having a traditional Irish dinner with my family the day after St. Patrick's Day. Hamhocks and cabbage, colcannon and soda bread.

And I loved the weather! Windy, warm and unpredictable. That is a sure sign of spring!

Poor little chocolate chips. Can you imagine their excitement when they realized they had been placed into THE Sheena's shopping cart? I bet they thought they'd be made into a fancy ganache, or those walnutty chocolate chocolate cookies, or even dipped in a bath of peanut butter on a spoon (aka-a bite of sanity).

It's like they KNOW that they've totally been cheated out of their lifelong dream of being baked into something sinful and delicious. Instead, they've been forced to live out their lives as tiny con-artist confections, carefully placed as a guise to lure in the cookie lover and fool them into thinking they are about to eat something gooey and fattening, but deep inside, the chips KNOW.THEY only the ONLY yummy part of a diet snack.

SEE how they're trying to get out of the cookie? They know they don't belong there.I think I hear them,"help us! There was NO shortening involved in the baking process, I saw NO butter, and now I am rubbing chunks with something called Flax! Please don't eat us this way. It's a trick, you idiot!"

But in all reality, I think the chips were happy. Happy because most of the time they ARE eaten on a spoon of PB, so they were ok with a little change this time. They were the shining stars of this un-cookie. Happy to be a part of a "diet" treat, trust me, they were.

Just you wait Meg. Chocolate cake with coconut frosting coming up this weekend. No dieting allowed.

I have two girlies that are allergic to PB..so I'd feel bad if I made these, well maybe I'll make some different cookies for them and while they're enjoying their sinful ones, I can eat these and feel part of the group!!I love the warmth & sunshine, just wish it wasn't so fickle in this state of Utah!!I enjoyed playing with my girls, lightening up my attitude AND my hair, and although I didn't love mother nature and my hormones this week, I will LOVE Monday to get back on track and start training for some little races..not a Sheena type race, but beginner type races..;-)
